Tournament formatBoth the Eurobowl and the Eur´Open have the same format.

The tournament consist of six rounds. Teams are paired by Swiss-draw in round two to six. In the first round draws are made randomly. Teams are randomly paired up with a team from the group they are in.

The individual match-ups are decided randomly in the first round and by Swiss-draw thereafter.

Scoring:Each individual victory gives the team 1 pointEach individual draw gives the team 0.5 point

Team victory earns the team 1 pointsTeam draw earns both teams 0.5 pointsTeam loss earns the team 0 points

Tie breakers:In the case of equal point score in the table of standings the following tie-breaker is used:- first sort by sum of opponents' points- then by TD net score- last by Cas net score

Please note here that only casualties that would yield star player point counts.

Paint and miniaturesPainted miniatures are not mandatory (though we urge you to do so).The miniatures doesn't have to be original GW-minis. However the miniatures must be representative for the roster's race and players (ie a Norse thrower must look like a Norse thrower) and be easily recognizable from other positionals.

We encourage you to use the following color coded bases: Grey/none: LinemanRed: BlitzerGreen: BlockerWhite: ThrowerYellow: Catcher, Runner

If your opponent can't easily recognize the different player types on your team, you must let him mark them somehow (without damaging the miniatures, of course). This could be with bottle caps or colored rings etc.

Rules for fairplayIn order to ensue a tournament in good sport and the best fun for everybody there are a series of rules that can be agreed upon by both coaches in their mutual game.A rule you have agreed upon is fixed afterwards - unless both coaches agree to cancel it again. Aside from this there is also a single rule to ensure both coaches feels the dices are, if not even, at least the same.

1) You must allow your opponent to use your dice if he so wishes.

2) If the game comes under the time rules (see below). You can mutually agree that a player who runs out of time isn´t forced to abandon all voluntary actions. In that case both players share the same time pool and the game will end when the time runs out, and the current score at this time will count.
